This is breaking news at CNN.com. Russia attacks Georgia (the country). The President of Georgia gives his thoughts and comments about this event in an interview with a CNN corespondent.

The President's video speach can be found here:

The story can also be found here:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/08/georgia.ossetia/index.html#cnnSTCOther1

Just copy and paste the links in your search bar.

I suggest watching the video first and then read the story.

The whole conflict started with Russia attacking civilians. If indeed Russia makes this an official war against Georgia, then for sure it would prove to be Georgia's demise.

What are your thoughts and comments?

Hey, it's just the truth. If someone invaded my country, I wouldn't just stand there and hand it to them.

Well, they invaded because the Georgians wouldn't stop complaining, Because theirs a part of Russia that only The Georgians live, but it's the property of Russia. It was called Ossetia http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii150/danstanta/dfnsindust-georgia.jpg

Russia didn't choose when this war was to happen.It was Georgia who invaded Ossetia,and the Russians were apparently allies or something with them.I think mainly they supported Ossetia becoming independent or something,and Georgia didn't want that,so this is the end result of all of that.In a way Georgia started the war,not Russia.So no Russia is not planning anything.

That's not actually true, the area in question was part of Georgia which had a large amount of support for Russia and had more or less been running itself independently since 1992. If I understand correctly, separatists in that area (which the rest of the world views as Georgian territory) were launching artillery into other parts of Georgia who in turn sent in troops to stop the attacks after offering a cease fire. Then the Russians who have been building up troops on the border for the last several months moved in with troops, heavy armor, and bombing runs, all of which apparently has been planned for some time.

Actually, they are. China is too busy handling the Olympics to worry about stopping Russia. This is why Russia invaded the first day. However, Russians are not the smartest because they have tried to go against the world before. We will stop them again and this will all be over. It is almost like Russia is trying to prove something but they will fail.

The Russians are just trying to return to the glory days of the USSR.

Florglee didn't you say you were Canadian?Make up your mind on your ethnicity.Still I agree that they may be backsliding into the U.S.S.R. status again.
